BROAD SERVICE reparation a ridlmad some ideas to mull over tor a more relaxed shopping spree: 1. Shop early. Avoid Ipe crowds hy leaving home early and returning home early. 2. Organize your shopping thoughts before leaving home, preferably the night before.

Your gift list should include two possible gifts for each If you don't find one settle for the other, rather than walking 'til your feet hurt. You'll save money too, by having alternate gifts because your first impulse may be too expensive. Put the list in youc handbag the night before so you will not forget it. 3. Send as many gift-wrapped packages from the stores as you can, particularly to those relatives away from home.

It'll be easier for you if the store wraps and mails. 4. It's a good idea to prepare your feet for the shopping trek. Rub them with camphor ice in the morning. Mild ingredients, camphor and petroleum jelly combine to ward off aching feet.

Rub your feet again when you arrive home. Study Ads 5. You should have studied the ads before you set off on your shopping trip. Know the stores that carry the gifts you have in mind. This will save aimless wandering, and get you the best values.

6. Plan a simple evening meal for shopping day. Prepare part of the dinner beforehand, and set the table the night before. (A big beef stew may be made the night be- Holmes Club Hears of Navajo Indians Mrs. Ward Weathcrford, program chairman of the Oliver Wendell Holmes Club, introduced Mrs.

Eva Abrahamson sang "Thanksgiving Hymn," accompa nied by Mrs. Frank Johnson, aft er which refreshments were served from a table centered with a horn of plenty. Serving honors went to Mrs. J. T.

Jackson and Mrs. R. C. Frankeberger. Hostesses were Mrs.

Frank Tucker, Mrs. D. E. Davidson, and Mrs. Alfred Werner.

Christmas luncheon will be Dec. 8 at the Emmanuel Methodist Church. Illinois Women's Golf Assn. Gives Check to Society The Illinois Women's Golf Assn. recently presented the American Cancer Society's Illinois Division with a check for $1,600 from the victory tournament conducted each year by the Illinois Women's Golf Assn.

The gift, which has been given annually, is intended for use in the Cancer Society's program of lay education with special emphasis on the education of women as to the symptoms and treatment of cancer. This year the gift will be used for the purchase of 12 copies of the film "The Other City" in 35mm for showing in commercial theaters throughout the state. "The Other City" was produced on location in Racine. Wis. With the cooperation of the townsfolk, Racine, a town of 75,000, was made a "dead" city symbolic of the number of lives lost needlessly each year from cancer.

The following local golf associations in District II of the American Cancer Society participated: Macomb Country Club, Macomb; Midland Country Club, Kewanee; Monmouth Country Club, Monmouth; Mount Hawley Country Club, Peoria; Country Club of Peoria, Peoria; Oakwood Country Club, Moline; Peoria Women's Golf League, Peoria; Quincy Country Club, Quincy; and Short Hills Country Club, East Moline. fP in fore heated up to taste even better after a day of shopping.) 7. Dress for comfort. Stores are warm so wear lightweight clothes. Wear low-heeled shoes.

8. Eat a good breakfast in the morning so that you can eat a late lunch or tea and toast at home. Besides the expense, restaurants arc crowded, and waiting in line will riot improve your disposition. 9. Stop to sit down when you get a chance.

This will ward off fatigue and lift your restoring energy. 10. "She who shops alone, shops fastest" might well be your clue to a happy shopping day. It's fun to shop with the girls the rest of the year, but when it comes to Christmas, you're better off alone. That goes for the youngsters too: it'll be cheaper in the long run to hire a baby sitter than pay for all the bribes you'll need to keep them quiet on this adventure.

Keep Sense of Humor 11. Keep your sense of humor with sales people. They don't create the crowds, set the prices or manufacture the merchandise. They're tired loo, so don't pick on them. 12.

Stick to your budget. You don't want to pay for your Christmas fun for 364 other days. And if you charge your Christmas purchases, remember: bills catch up with you later. Don't buy more because you can charge it. 13.

Relax at home after shopping. A good bath will help. Put some bath salts into the water and soak until your heart's content. 14. Get in bed with your check list.

What didn't you manage to get? Make another list for your next shopping trip. 15. Just as soon as you can get to it, wrap the presents you have bought, tag them and get them out of the way. edSia 9 MISS AUDREY PAUL (above), contralto Lyric Opera, Chicago, has been engaged as one of the soloists who will assist the Galesburg Community Chorus and orchestra in the annual presentation of Handel's Messiah" Sunday evening, 7, at the George Churchill Junior High School auditorium.
